Tenure -Track Faculty
Massachusetts institute of Technology (MIT)
Cambridge, MA
Multiple Positions
The Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences (BCS) ( http://bcs.mit.edu ), in collaboration with the McGovern Institute for Brain Research (MIBR) and the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory (PILM) at MIT are looking to hire multiple tenure-track faculty at the assistant professor level or higher. We strongly encourage applications from all areas, but we are most excited about candidates who work in either of the following:
Computational approaches to understanding intelligence. We are interested in candidates that seek an understanding of natural intelligence by building artiﬁcially intelligent systems that take into account neuroscience and cognitive science constraints. We seek candidates with a diverse range of computational tools and methods, including (but not limited to) machine learning, computer vision, robotics, probabilistic modeling, dynamical systems, planning, programming languages, and natural language processing. Candidates from computer science, engineering or related backgrounds that seek to develop collaborations with neuroscientists and cognitive scientists are particularly encouraged to apply. We anticipate that these positions will have afﬁliations with the new MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, the Computer Science and Artiﬁcial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM) and/or other allied units.
Cellular and systems neuroscience in animal models. We are interested in candidates that study the mechanisms of neuronal and brain function, plasticity and/or development at the molecular, cellular, circuit and/or systems level using cutting edge neurogenetic, molecular, electrophysiological or imaging technologies. Candidates with an interest in mechanisms underlying brain disorders or aging are particularly attractive. Afﬁliation with the Broad Institute is possible.
Successful applicants are expected to develop and lead independent, internationally competitive research programs and to share in our commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education by teaching courses and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. PhD must be completed by start day of employment and some postdoctoral training is preferred.
Please submit application materials – cover letter, CV, statement of research and teaching interests and representative reprints – online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14277 . To help direct the application, applicants should indicate which of the two areas listed above is their main research area by selecting from the drop-down list included in the application. In addition, please arrange to have three letters of recommendation submitted online.
All application materials are due by midnight (EST) on October 31, 2019.

We have multiple postdoctoral fellowship positions available with a primary focus on studying the clinical phenomenology and neurobiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The fellows will be mentored by Dr. Isabelle Rosso, PhD. at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. The successful candidates will be proposed for academic appointment as a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
Job description : We are looking for applicants with a PhD or MD/PhD scientist in clinical psychology, neuroscience, neuroimaging, or related field. The fellows will work on NIMH-funded projects that seek to understand the neurobiological underpinnings of PTSD.
The first project is funded as a NIMH Conte P50 grant. Its focus is on understanding the neurobiology of stress pathways in PTSD, using genetic, psychophysiology, neuroimaging, and actigraphy methods.
The second project is funded as a NIMH R01 grant. Its focus is on understanding the phenomenology of intrusive trauma re-experiencing in PTSD, using ecological momentary assessment and neuroimaging methods.
These positions will provide opportunities for collaboration and networking with clinicians, basic neuroscientists, and physicists at McLean Hospital. The PI is committed to supporting fellows on their trajectory to an independent research career, including ensuring that they submit competitive applications for internal fellowships and external grant funding.
Preferred is a candidate with the following attributes:
Prior human subjects research with psychiatric populations, or biological mechanisms of psychiatric illness;
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, sufficient to explain complex scientific or technical concepts to non-domain experts;
Evidence of capability for independent work, problem-solving, and initiative-taking;
Interpersonal skills, as required for interactions with research participants, and for collaboration in a multidisciplinary environment.
How to apply: To apply for this position, email a cover letter and CV to Dr. Rosso: irosso@hms.harvard.edu . Please include the names & contact details for three references in your application.
